Tracy Taris, a licensed marriage and family therapist, experienced her own personal demons as she battled doubt, fear and anxiety which stemmed from negative childhood internal and external influences and voices. As the eldest of six children, Tracy was given a daunting amount of responsibility over her siblings that motivated her to become outspoken. Being a non-conformist caused her to be labeled as “evil.” As an adult, she also endured a family tragedy that brought up a deep fear of early death. Determined to break free and help others, Tracy earned a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology while learning to identify and eliminate personal confusion and chaos caused by negative messages. She discovered healing through Jesus Christ’s love and guidance. In her therapy practice, she offers healing techniques to her clients struggling with psychological and relational suffering.

At the age of 23 Danielle was hit by a drunk driver and sustained a life-altering injury to her brain. The medical world said there was no hope of recovery & told her to accept this life as her “new normal”. Although her body was physically impaired, her spirit was strong, she refused to believe their diagnoses. Her mind was determined to recover… and she did! Through the power of what she refers to as ‘Mind Control,’ she attracted the mindset, techniques, and exact quantum healing technologies needed to fully recover.
